It's also amusing how this comment is at +4 upvotes, but anchored underneath a -2 post because apparently I've been downranked automatically. This is real petty, you might as well [dead] everything I post before it shows up at this point.
+0 for what it's worth, I don't understand the ranking algorithm any better than you do but I suspect there's a lot at play and the flagging of other comments is probably related. Pure speculation.
If you wanted concrete answers, consider emailing the mods and asking.
